| gptkbp:famous_quote |
" The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."
" I fear living a life where I could have accomplished something and didn't." " We are all connected; to each other, biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the rest of the universe, atomically." " The universe is under no obligation to make sense to you." " For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others." " The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious." " I think of space not as the final frontier, but as the next frontier." " Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality." " We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun." " The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, seems like an awful waste of space." |
